Purpose: Anger has become one of the dominantly experienced emotions in recent years, particularly under the COVID-19 pandemic. Considering the critical role that anger plays in consumers' lives, the present research examines how feeling angry about money influences consumers' spending and money distribution decisions. Research design and methodology. Three experiments were conducted using different emotion induction methods (i.e., dictator game, autobiographical recall, and scenario). Results. Feeling angry about money decreased pro-social spending (i.e., less money distribution to the others), but it did not affect virtuous or utilitarian spending for the self-unlike past finding on negative feelings that increased utilitarian spending. Furthermore, whereas anger-tainted money decreased pro-social spending of that money, guilt-tainted money increased pro-social spending. However, the effects of guilt versus anger were not completely symmetrical. The antagonistic effect of anger was diffusive across spending on distant and close others, whereas the pro-social effect of guilt was limited to distant others. Conclusions: These findings help policy makers and financial institutions forecast how money will be distributed or circulated when it is likely to be dampened by anger under the pandemic. They also highlight the importance of examining the effects of discrete emotions (e.g., anger vs. guilt) beyond valence.

Purpose: This study determines the effect of spending distribution, namely experiential, impulsive, self-expressive, prosocial, and conspicuous spending, on the financial well-being of young working women in Malaysia. Research design, data and methodology: This study employed a quantitative and deductive approach. A sample of 400 young working women was selected using a systematic sampling technique. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM). Results: The findings revealed prosocial and impulsive spending as the significant spending distribution to affect financial well-being. The effect of prosocial spending is positive on financial well-being, while the effect of impulsive spending is a negative predictor of financial well-being. All other spending distribution - experiential, self-expressive, and conspicuous spending - do not have a significant effect on financial well-being. Conclusion: To achieve financial well-being, young working women need to distribute the spending budget for the happiness of others and reduce impulse buying. The findings provide useful insights on the significant role of spending distribution in influencing, how to fuel young working women to develop good spending habits that consequently improve their financial well-being, for themselves and Malaysian economics, as well as the plausible solution to overcome financial problems and high indebtedness.

이 연구는 복지태도의 미시적 결정구조와 특성을 규명하려는 실증연구이다. 복지태도에 관한 설문조사를 기초로 복지태도의 결정요인을 분석하였다. 복지태도의 결정모델은 그동안의 연구에서 사회적 지위에 의한 설명이 주종을 이루고 있지만, 사회적 지위기반 못지않게 사회적으로 학습되거나 사회화 과정을 거치면서 형성된 복지규범 및 가치지향에 의해 영향을 받는다. 복지태도의 구성범주를 복지기능의 정당성, 복지비용부담의 수용성, 복지원리의 선호성, 복지공급의 책임성, 복지재정의 확충이라는 다섯 가지 하위영역으로 조작화하여 분석한 결과, 복지친화적인 태도로 나타났다. 성, 연령, 교육수준, 소득수준 등 사회인구학적 특성에 따른 복지태도의 분화가능성은 명확하게 현실화되지 않고, 오히려 복지태도의 분화가능성은 사회화과정에서 형성된 복지규범 및 가치에 의해 영향을 받고 있다. 따라서 서구복지국가의 대중적 지지와 복지흐름에 대한 연구들에서 제기되었던 사회적 지위기반에 따른 '균열 명제(cleavages thesis)'의 현실적합성이 유효하지 않은 이유는 복지기능의 도덕적 의무감에 대한 사회적 신뢰가 사회적 지위기반의 영향력보다 우선되고 있으며, 우리사회에서 복지제도를 둘러싼 자기이해관계(self-interests)가 직접적으로 표출되지 않은 결과 또는 복지정치의 제도적 기반약화라는 점을 시사해 주고 있다.
